That on Monday 24th August at approximately 6pm TrinityRhino's wonderful husband was killed in a car crash.

He was working near Biggar in Scotland and was on his way home when his van and a 17-5 ton lorry collided.

Thankfully he was killed instantly and did not suffer although as you will all understand the family's suffering is on going

As many of you will know Trinity and I are really close friends and I feel as if my heart has been ripped out and have only now felt I was strong enough to post this for her (I wouldn't post without her permission) and can only imagine how she and her 3 little girls and her 2 stepsons are feeling

The world is most definately a worse place for the loss of this wonderful husband, dad & friend.

God bless and R.I.P.

I hope that makes sense as I can hardly see the keys for tears

Hi all

I have just left Trinity napping, and she has managed to have a wee look at this thread, (could only manage to look at a few) and sends her thanks.

Will keep you all informed on how the whole family are doing.

Thank you all for your kind words once again xx

Purple, is there anything we (as Mumsnet) can do for her?

And is there anything you need?

TAFKAtheUrbanDryad · 29/08/2009 16:43

TR - i am so, so sorry for your loss. I heard this morning, only just had a chance to come on here.

Anything we can do, please do let us know. X

IUsedToBePeachy · 29/08/2009 16:47

TR I am so very, very soprry indeed- it never makes any sense does it, it's always the ones who are most needed who are taken.

There's nothing at all worth saying except how sorry I am, that my whole lot will think of you for a few moments when we sit down tonight and if there is anything MN chooses to do we will be invovled like a shot.

Sending strength
